Multicolor Granny Square Tutorial // Not For The Faint Hearted

[@donnah3910]

Whoa! I expected ends but that amount blew my mind!! 😱😳

[@OpheliaTalks]

Ha ha ha! Thank you for watching, Anja x

[@Einsteinsmum]

Oh I love this! May create it for a tote bag that I can line. 😉

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great idea!! Thanks for watching, Anja x

[@louloustreasuretrove2122]

Turning it into a pillow you will not see the back side of the square, so beautiful and colorful. Thanks for sharing.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you for watching, great idea, Anja x

[@Jumperchick11]

I was thinking the same thing!! Make it a pillow, add some stuffing and stitch it together no one will know!! It’s beautiful though!

[@beckyramos5952]

That was my first thought! Great pillow

[@hasumatipatel9410]

I love this and will turn mine it into a iPhone bag using two squares , knot the ends very tightly , cut them short, perhaps use a bit of fabric glue and line the bag 😅 Anja thanks for sharing 🙌🤗💕🙏🏻

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks for watching!

[@joycemonty4262]

I would knot the snipped ends together with the new color, then put a solid color sheet backing on it and use all the loose ends as filling to make a crochet blanket quilt. It would look fantastic.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Good suggestion, thanks for watching, Anja x

[@scrimshawrose3236]

I thought the same thing, but possibly do another piece same size underneath in a darker color such as black and weave in all the ends there. crochet the ends together at edges like an envelope border in mosaic crochet, it would be a lot of work but very lovely blanket.

[@TMReagon]

Oh dear lord, what a fantastic idea!!! 😊

[@RoamingwithRover]

I love that you show the back!!! Nobody does that!!!!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Just keeping it real 😄 thank you for watching, Anja x

[@katjawoell]

You suggested to crochet two of these and crochet them together... with this filling of a thousand yarn ends it would be the perfect little cushion for a cat or a dog❤ Or in a bigger size the perfect seat cushion for us ❤ Thank you for sharing this tutorial 🙏💕

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes it would be heavy and cosy too, thanks for watching, Anja x

[@blklocladybug]

😂😂😂 I SCREAMED!!!!!!😂😂😂😂 I am so sorry....this is so beautiful! I have to try this!!!! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Go for it! Anja x

[@debismakingstuff3757]

I agree! I love it and want to make one now.

[@kaymastclinic2171]

Anja, I absolutely love this granny square. I think it would make an amazing lined jacket. Would take a bit of work but would be so rewarding.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes a lot of work, thank you for watching, Anja x

[@beccabbea2511]

Yes, a sort of padded jacket, or just tie off the ends. It would definitely look amazing. 👍

[@ruthdennisKnits]

Eeeeekk. I’m AM going to try this one. Good brain exercise

[@OpheliaTalks]

Go for it! Anja x

[@noracampos7426]

OMG !!! My favorite thing in the world to do !!! Seriously I love sewing in tails…

[@OpheliaTalks]

Then this is a great project for you, Anja x

[@janetruh7476]

These would make a lovely quilt. And the ends could be the filling for the quilt. Back it with either a lovely piece of wool or cotton. What a pretty pattern.Thank you!💙

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great idea! Anja x

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

This is exactly what I was thinking! ❤

[@lindaadams5228]

Great idea, I may make one now, but I tell ya after I seen the back I was like um no. Lol

[@veronicagutierrezmedina495]

Lindp pero no me gusta los flecos de atras,

[@robertdelaplante7326]

The best idea on here is to make it into a quilt and put a backing on it, comment by @janetruh7476 (thanks for that idea)…It will be super warm. What an absolute beautiful pattern…I’m trying it, only if I do one square. I’ve never minded sewing in the ends, for some unknown reason…but this looks like a MASSIVE aggravation…thanks for sharing and thanks for being honest….it isn’t for the faint of heart 😳

[@LDaw_96]

I Love the intro to the video. 😂. It beautiful. Thank you for not underestimating us. Now I have another bucket list project.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you, Anja x

[@peggytraeg]

Wow!!! I do not think I have every seen so many ends! Pretty GS.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hahaha yes it’s enough to give you nightmares, thank you for watching, Anja x

[@LDaw_96]

It would be so beautiful at a chair back cover. I am have to do this. It just loves so fun. I need all those colors too.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Don’t forget to show us the end result! Anja x

[@brendagreen685]

Oh my goodness!! But it is so pretty.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks for watching, Anja x

[@boldbabez3985]

I loved the back💚🥰 to me it was beautiful as well However as far as ideas of what you can do you can put fabric on the back side .. sew it on with clear thread always ever color thread you choose and you can make blankets you can make bags by using fabric to make a lining... By placing a lining type fabric you can make jackets/cardigans... Just about anything you desire I think this is a fabulous and playful technique... I'm a newbie a beginner to crocheting.. and this project is challenging yet fun.the color combinations are endless Thanks so much for sharing 💚✨🦋💚✨🦋💚✨🦋💚✨🦋🥰

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great suggestions, thanks for watching, Anja x

[@eliwalker9429]

Just love the pattern, thanks so much for showing how it is done. It would just take me forever, because I would be stopping at each colour change and weaving in the ends. And I did scream when you showed the back of the work.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks for watching, Anja x

[@LDaw_96]

For a purse or pillow you could use some fabric glue to help secure ends. I love it.

[@OpheliaTalks]

But you would still need to weave them in 😵‍💫Anja x

[@nsartain8129]

I love watching you do this. I am only watching for now. lol. It is very pretty and will be fun to try.

[@LissyVanrenen-nc3dc]

Hello Anja, What a beautiful project you shared with us. I understand that it's too much work to sew al the ends in. I would use this beautiful big granny square to cover up a canvas tote bag. I would make the front panel like this and the back panel with just 1 colour. So that the back panel doesn't have much work to it. I hope this is helpfull and you still can use this granny square for something Greetings Lissy

[@ichachannel226]

@OpheliaTalks my pleasure🥰

[@judylebeck2872]

I'm going to try it changing direction starting on row 3 and see if that makes fewer ends.

[@jessicastimel8120]

I came to say the same thing! 😅 What if you turned at the end of the round and picked up the yarn when you came back to that color. Still will be a lot of ends but not as many. Would just have to be mindful of what side yarn is added and picked up.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Let me know how you get on, Anja x

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

I think I, personally, would stretch my yarn to the next set kf rhat color where I could. That would reduce some of the ends. I'm going to have to fiddle with this. This is beautiful Anja!!!! ♥️

[@OpheliaTalks]

Go for it, Anja x

You sure stirred up a nest of buzzing with this video! This is fun to see all of the ideas coming forth! Kind of like reginastripp7492 said but I would first find out what length of yarn each cluster takes. Next I would cut my yarn to that length (not all at once just in case of error). When I want to change colors drop the old and pick up the new. When I next visit the old color and its cluster, thread it on a needle and weave it over to the new starting point invisibly as possibly. Do this till the whole four sides of that color block have been made. Then you have an unavoidable end. Everything you make is so pretty!

[@OpheliaTalks]

[@nunyaanderson8723]

Make a chilly weather jumper or light jacket leave the threads as insulation & line it with cotton or wool cloth. Also, to not carry along or cut the threads, just stick a yarn-less hook in the previous color in a weave pattern btwn the stitches at the tops(left to right), pick up your stopped thread then pull thru at once. After, you could then pick it up & start your stitching on the other side of the new color without cutting, additionally, if you do this correctly, you will NOT see the opposing color. Easy, simple & not lazy way. You pay for taking it, what seems to be the easy way out at the moment, with all those ends! 😅😊

[@fredabellefleur5418]

YES... i TOOK A SHEET OF PAPER AND MADE A DIAGRAM AND PUT DIFFERENT COLOR ON ROUND AFTER ROUND . When I start my pillow, will follow the color and mark those I do after its done. That way I will not be doing the wrong color . Well thats the way I work all the time and never had to redo the same square OVER AND OVER.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.Hope you can understand what I am saying.

what a beautiful terrifying project..hehe...thank you for explaining the process... I think the cut n tie method will work if someone wants to attempt this project as the ends can be dealt with then and there while changing colors... or a backing fabric sewn on the back will hide the yarn strands...and can be made into tote bags or pillow covers or even a wall hanging

[@elspethmcgarey]

There is a way to avoid all the ends to weave in. Join the new yarn with a magic knot. Surprisingly, it is not that difficult to work out exactly where to put the knot. I will admit that tying all the knots is time consuming and tedious, but if you remind yourself that each knot has saved you having the ends to weave in, it keeps you motivated. I recently made a complex C2C blanket in this way, and had only the first and last ends to weave in. I also make all my regular colour change granny squares this way too. Hope this helps.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes but I don’t like using the magic knot, I’m always worried it comes undone. Thanks for the suggestion, Anja x
